The model is back with a bang in 2017.

Chrissy Teigen has made a jaw-dropping return to the world of modelling, after starring in the Sports Illustrated’s 2017 Swimwear Issue.

The model showed off her incredible figure for the new shoot, which sees her pose on the beach in a purple bikini.

Chrissy, who only gave birth to her and husband John Legend’s daughter Luna back in April, has appeared in every one of the yearly issues for the last seven years, and featured on the cover back in 2014.

Chrissy has a long history with Sports Illustrated, after winning the acclaimed “rookie of the year” award back in 2010, but this might be her finest shoot yet.

Speaking during the shoot, Chrissy said: “It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything swimsuit. I haven’t shot since baby.”

She said she felt confident during the shoot, because she knew “everyone at Sports Illustrated in general is going to embrace your body no matter what’s happening and embrace the changes.”

The footage from the shoot will feature in the DirecTV Now exclusive Making of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2017 show later this month.
